[quote][b] William H. Macey - so far they only have actual evidence (the transcripted phone conversations) of his involvement with the second daughter, who ultimately was not a student benefitting from the scheme. The parents changed their mind on her at the 11th hour.[/b] [/quote]

The ONLY reason why they didn't go through with the scheme in the 11th hour for the younger daughter, is because the younger daughter begged them not to.

Apparently their younger daughter is smart as a whip & a hard worker too.  She wanted to take the SAT's on her own & wanted to stick with whatever score she got. 
She wanted to earn her accomplishments on her own merit. 
 
The younger daughter took all of the prep courses, was a part of real study groups & she did all of the time consuming hard work that it takes to perform well on the SAT's.  
She did what any other average high schooler in America would do in preparation, prior to taking the SAT's.

The older daughter did none of that except take the PSAT.

I feel badly for the younger daughter. 
Here she was trying to do the RIGHT thing (against her family's wishes, mind you) & yet, she's still all wrapped up in this scandal because her entire family is.  [/quote]

I wondered about that because I read the transcripts, but I wouldn't say she was smart as a whip. She had been working with a personal SAT coach and was only getting a 1200. Part of the conversation was about how much they could cheat on the 2nd test if she scored in that area on her own (they were going to let her try on her own first). It seemed like she didn't know from the transcripts, but maybe not....[/quote]
